Books I've read in 2010
"You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page
and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
Paul Sweeney

⇝The Ice Princess - Camilla Lackberg
Original title: Isprinsessan
Author: Camilla Lackberg
Quote(s): "The house was desolate and empty.
The cold penetrated into every corner.
A thin sheet of ice had formed in the bathtub.
She had begun to take on a slightly bluish tinge.
He thought she looked like a princess lying there. An ice princess.
The floor he was sitting on was ice cold, but the chill didn't bother him.
He reached out his hand and touched her.
The blood on her wrists had congealed long ago.
His love for her had never been stronger.
He caressed her arm, as if he were caressing the soul that had now left her body.
He didn't look back when he left. It was not 'good-bye', it was 'until we meet again."

⇝Pane e Tempesta - Stefano Benni
Original title: Pane e Tempesta
Author: Stefano Benni
Quote(s): "L'uomo primitivo, pensò il nonno, doveva fare solo tre cose.
Alzarsi con autela, per non dare una testata nella caverna, e pisciare.
A volte le due azioni erano contemporanee.
Non doveva togliersi il pigiama e vestirsi perché il vestito notturno
e quello da lavoro erano uguali: una pelle di scimmia o di altro donatore.
La terza azione era grattarsi il cranio e constatare l'assenza di un dentifricio,
di una caffettiera, di un tostapane e di altre future ideazioni.
Così, deluso ma leggero, usciva dalla caverna per una nuova giornata.
Il passaggio dalle tre azioni fondamentali del pitecantropo
alle ventisette dell'umano medio si chiamava civiltà.
